I haven't seen it mentioned in the post, but it is worth mentioning that (boiled) potatoes have the highest satiety index [1] among common foods.
The highest SI score was produced by boiled potatoes (323 +/- 51%) which was seven-fold higher than the lowest SI score of the croissant (47 +/- 17%)

- mizzack 4y agoYep. That's why this works. If you limit the palatability (by restricting added salt/fat/seasoning), you get to a point where you simply do not want to eat any more potatoes. And that happens a lot sooner with potatoes vs. other foods due to the high satiety, so you're full and satisfied at a significant caloric deficit.
